Get up to speed on the market impact of evolving distributed ledger technologies and how precision timing increases the value of these offerings.

WASHINGTON, DC — ATIS today announced the agenda for its forthcoming conference Time and Money 2020: The Workshop on Distributed Ledger Technologies and Timing. The event delivers an opportunity to learn from the experts about the critical role of timing and synchronization in enabling security and authentication within a distributed ledger technology (DLT) environment. Time and Money 2020 will be held on January 28, 2020, at the New York Stock Exchange.

“ATIS’ Time and Money Conference has a track record of bringing together the experts on the latest topics relevant to timing and synchronization in the world of financial transactions and technology,” said ATIS President and CEO Susan Miller. “Time and Money 2020 is sure to deliver another thought-provoking, innovation-focused dialogue. Attendees will leave with an understanding of the impact of evolving DLT technologies in FinTech and how precision timing increases their value.”

“We find the ATIS Time and Money Workshop highlights important trends in FinTech as they relate to security and timing accuracy,” said Duke Buckner, Head of Strategy and Business Development in Microchip Technology’s Frequency and Time Systems business unit, a Time and Money 2020 sponsor. “We expect this particular DLT-focused event will be informative and illuminate new avenues for solutions where timing and DLT intersect.”

Presentations include:

• The Resilience of Timing Systems and DLT  by Kevin Coggins, Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton – Opening Keynote.
• Legal Aspects of Time and DLT  by Bryan Wilson by Managing Editor, MIT Computational Law Report and Daniel Greenwood Lecturer and Research Scientist, MIT Media Lab.
• Using DLT/Blockchain for Timing Verification and Compliance by Monty Johnson, CEO, OPNT
• How DLT Will Impact Regulatory Agencies’ Ability to Develop and Manage a Compliance Database by Dr. Austin Gerig, Assistant Director – Office of Research and Data Services Division of Economic and Risk Analysis, Security and Exchange Commission – Closing keynote.

Time and Money 2020 also features an industry expert panel discussion on Timing, Blockchain and Security in DLT as well as the Setting the Stage for Innovation session in which lead vendors of time and frequency technologies demonstrate their solutions and answer questions. Event Background:  DLT and clock-synchronized distributed transaction systems are creating innovative disruption in spaces typically occupied by traditional information repository methods and transaction ledgers. Precise and secure timing and synchronization are critical to advancing this revolution. The experts on this topic are convened at Time and Money 2020.

The event delivers important insight into the market impact of evolving DLT technologies and how precision timing increases the value of these offerings. It explains the critical role of precise time traceable to as well as leading-edge techniques to accomplish this. You will leave with a better understanding of clock-synchronized distributed transaction systems and their overall impact on DLTs’ future.
